T_H_O_M_A_S

i only whished they had used fets instead of double transistors , less voltage drops and more juice to the motors ;) , you only have 7 to 8 volts available to avoid motors stalling , cut the input pins on one side and make it a dedicated train receiver

either way you have to cut away one in or output . check out my old brickshelf account for pic and movies on trains , http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=T-H-O-M-A-S the XXL maersk even has a custom pcb driving 6 motors from a 8000Mah lipo :D the yellow train with octan cars , has coupled in put on both locs

Hi , why havent you coupled both inputs , then each motor would have 1A instead of two motors have to share one output of the lb1836 i have done this a few times with the v1 ir receiver , it also has the lb1836 i also remove the ptc from the train motor and the electric fuse in the battery box or rechargeable unit , makes a huge difference in traction power especially at low speeds the LB1836 has its own internal protection ;) one is more than enough
